Suppose you are the Chief Economist of
a local prestigious corporation. Suppose that the corporation has
just won a court case about property rights infringement. The court
has awarded the sum of $30 million to your company to be paid by
the defendant. Your company is offered the option to either receive
a one-time payment of $15 million today or 30 payments of $1
million per year, starting today. Which option would you recommend,
assuming that the current risk-free interest rate is 8%? Why? (The
Board of Directors has asked that you make a recommendation
consistent with the goal of shareholders’ wealth maximization.)
